The night travel between Portland, and Astoria is something immense, everj' berth on the boats being usually taken. Yesterday morninir a child was brought over from Deep River withJ one of. its.hands almost cut off, acci dently done with a hatchet. Last evening a man was brought down from one of the logging camps up the river for medical aid, having badly cut his right foot with an ax. The newly elected board of direc tors, Astoria and South Coast railway, intend to meet and organize by elec tion of president, vice president, etc., to morrow afternoon. Seattle business men have met and demanded that fire insurance rates must be reduced. Their demand will be acceded to. So would a united demand from Astoria, if made. Worsley & Carruthers have a small army of men. digging away in the an tediluvian deposit on the west side of Main street, laying a sewer therein, such as every north aud south street should have. What has Astoria ever done to the S. P. Alta'i That usually reliable journal, in its i?r,ue of the 8th locates Tatoosh island with its dismal record, at the mouth of the Columbia river. Take 'hit away, for 'eviugs sake! Henry Villard, through an alliance with Charles and Joseph Colby, has obtained a majority of the stock of the Northern Pacific, and a sensation in railroad circles is promised within the next ten days, when he becomes president of the road. Yesterday afternoon a longshore man unloading coal on the British ship Hermione hud his left hand badly crushed by a coal bucket falling on it. The wound was. dressed by a physician and the man went home; to lay up for a day or two. Mr. David Smith, of tliis city, has beeu appointed agent for the sale of Geo. A. Clarke & Bros.' salmon twine on the Columbia river. Mr. Smith's experience in this line will serve him in good stead in extending the firm's business in this section. At Terre Haute, last Friday, on a race track seven feet over a mile, Axtell, a three-year-old stallion made a wonderful record, trotting a mile in 2:12. He was sold the same day for 105,000, said to be the highest price ever paid for a horse. Pillar Rock should be removed. Though deep water surrounds it, it is an indirect menace to navigation. One of the first or next things done in the way of improvement of the lower Col umbia, sliould be the removal of Pil lar Rock, by blasting or otherwise. John Kopp leaves on the Telephone for Portland, to make arrangements for purcliasing an ice machine. He commences making lager beer next spring, and will as soon as possible put in a 12,000 plant to manufacture sufficient, ice to supply the Astoria trade. Portland will soon have what every city, large or small, that aspires to greatness, must have, viz: a fine hotel. The new hotel, (in the bands of a man who knows how to keep a hotel), will be of benefit to that city, and, indi rectly, to every community that shares in the prosperity of the metropolis. The county board of equalization i meets at ten o'clock to-morrow morn ing. If your property isn't assessed within 40per cent, of what you can sell it for, or if you think of any you forgot when your assessment blank was handed in, you will have a chance to have the increase made to-morrow morning. At the meeting of Seaside Lodge No. 12, A. O. TJ. W. last evening, a communication was read from the In dustrial association saying that Wednesday, Oct 23rd, had been set aside as A. O. TJ. W., day and that the grand master had granted a dispensa tion allowing the members to wear their badges. The West Shore for the current week has a full page illustration on the K. of P. parade in this city last week. The West Shore handsomely illustrated, and ably edited, pays con siderable attention to Astoria, and with its wide circulation is of recog nized value in directing public atten tion to our city. Mra. 0. P. Graham yesterday even ing received a dispatch stating that her husband was very low, but that there was still hope and calling on her to come quickly. She leaves to night for her husband's bedside in Chicago, and it is to be hoped that she will find him much better when she arrives there. Under date of -Sept. 24th Alex. Gilbert writes to The Astobian from Paris that the finest things to Bee at the exposition are the Tower Eiffel, the palace of machinery and the colored water fountains. On the 1st inst lie was to start for La Rochelle, Cognac, arid Bordeaux, and desired to be kindly remembered to his friends. Not long ago a lot of alleged news paper men were given a big feed at a big Portland restaurant. The b. P. r. man charged the Pasco Land com pany, whicli gave the spread, S30 a plate. Now the land company, so it is said, repudiates the bill, and the res taurant man is keeping both eyes on Pasco. Some of the boys got a big meal, anyhow, whoever pays for it.

The North Pacific Exposition at Portland is a good place to spend about three hours, two in walkiug through the exhibits, and one in lis tening to the music. The orchestra is superb, the music of a high order, and it is the main feature. The ar rangement of everything is good, the building itself is too large, too lofty. The attendance is immense, and the managers will make it a financial suc cess. There is considerable inquiry in Portland for and about Astoria real estate, but it is chiefly from people of small means who think 250 is a big lot of money. They have read of peo ple making a S300 or 500 investment, and selling afterwards for 50,000, and are ready to concede that such chances are likely to exist down here. But, in general, the Portland people need a little further education. It is only a question of time, however. Very few people know how many different ways there are of changing a quarter of a dollar. According to one man that has more leisure than busi ness on his hands, there are 315 ways of changing that piece of money. The pieces used are the 20 cent piece, 10 cent piece, Scent piece 3 cent piece, 2 cent piece and the 1 cent piece. To make all the changes without using the same coin twice would Tequiro 1,233 1 cent pieces, 614 twos, 378 threes, 181 lives, fifty-nine lens and nine twenties, making 2,581 pieces, worth 53.75.

The country sawmills are booming. Some of them charge 22 per 1000 feet for dressed clear stuff, 20 for second grade, and 16 for third grade. All the lumber is unseasoned and is hauled away as soon as sawed. A timber expert from Wisconsin made a mistake of exactly 49,500 feet in one tree, recently, over on the Sound, standing along side of it.
